The Yeti Tundra Marine Coolers

Yeti Coolers has been busy. In addition to rolling out a number of great accessories for the Yeti Sherpa and Yeti Fiberglass cooler lines, they have also developed a new line of tough, roto-molded marine coolers, dubbed the Yeti Tundra Cooler. While I haven't had a chance to get my hands on one yet, but I've gone over the literature and had a chance to talk with the folks at Yeti.

It looks like they took some of the well loved features of the older Yeti Roughneck Cooler line, and married them with the high performance innovations of the Yeti Sherpa Cooler line. The new Tundra Cooler features a squared off look similar to the Roughneck and Fiberglass Marine Coolers as well as the rope handles and T-latch system employed by the Roughneck Coolers. However, it has beefed up seals and insulation that has put the Yeti Sherpa among the elite of high-performance coolers.

The Yeti Tundra Cooler is currently available in 35 quart, 45 quart, 65 quart, 85 quart 120 quart and 155 quart sizes. I understand that a 250 quart model is in production and should be available soon, and a massive 420 quart Tundra Cooler is in the works.

Yeti Tundra Coolers are available from SavvyBoater.com, an Authorized Yeti Dealer. Watch the new SavvyBoater.com Blog for more information and specials on Yeti Coolers and other high performance marine coolers.

I know, Yeti Roughnecks never wear out, but if you decide it's time to upgrade, take a look at the new Tundra, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

The Children's Cancer Association - Helping out Children who are fighting the tough fight

I'm a little off topic today, but I wanted to share some information on a great organization that has become a model for helping children with cancer and their families during their fight with the disease.

The Children's Cancer Association is a great organization that has successfully inspired regional businesses and wonderful volunteers to really make a difference for children in Oregon & Washington who are dealing with cancer or similar diseases.

In addition to providing resources and visibility, they have developed strong programs like the Chemo Pals, that provides a carefully screened and trained adult friend for children, to be a friend during chemo and to provide some support and relief time for parents. Their innovative Music Rx Program brings music to kids in the hospital, providing distraction, entertainment and comfort. The Dream catcher program helps ill children fulfil a special wish and their Caring Cabin provides a place for families to spend some time outside the hospital. Free to the families, it can meet ill children's medical needs while providing a comfortable private retreat for families.

Take a moment to visit the CCA site and learn more about what they have going on. By the way, I'm not a representative of the CCA, just a fan, so if I've got any of the facts wrong in here, mea culpa.

The SavvyBoater crew recently were able to do our tiny part, by helping outfit the Caring Cabin with life jackets fishing rods and games so the families can enjoy boating on the small private lake. What can you do to help out the CCA and the children they serve?
